The Challenges With Ebook Publishing - by Kathryn Lively

The Challenges With Ebook Publishing - by Kathryn Lively: "Browse around the Internet, and you will definitely see how many websites are taking advantage of the literary wave of the future: electronic books. Some websites serve as online repositories of public domain material, offering novels and documents for educational and recreational purposes. Online retailers like Fictionwise and Amazon.com offer downloadable, electronic versions of top selling books, and aspiring writers are taking advantage of the medium to establish readership.

One eBook publisher specializing in erotic romance titles claims to sell thirty thousand eBooks a month! Other small publishers of eBooks are proud to mention how they first published authors who now rank among the hottest sellers today.

For the author struggling to get his foot in the door of the publishing industry, publishing through electronic means may sound appealing. Compared to most traditional print publishers, eBook publishers tend to offer a higher percentage of royalties on net sales and allow for more author input on promotion and cover art. Turnaround time between submission and book release may be shorter, as production may not be as involved. However, as with any industry, there are caveats to consider.

For all the benefits of taking your book to an electronic publisher, there are also disadvantages one needs to realize. Any author preparing to take a manuscript to an editor or publisher should be aware."

Stop Shutting Your Partner Down In Times Of Disagreement - by Mark Webb

Stop Shutting Your Partner Down In Times Of Disagreement - by Mark Webb: "Pushing the issue is like what happens when you squeeze an orange. Squeezing the orange forces the juice that is on the inside to pour out. The same type of thing occurs when you squeeze someone who is already full of hurt and anger. What is on the inside is going to come out and it most likely is going to be messy. So you are better off to wait to discuss hot topics until you are feeling connected to each other again.

Plugging back into your relationship is the goal. Wounded relationships can heal. Every time you and your partner work your way back to the baseline, the relationship grows stronger.

The couple comes to realize what is necessary to return to baseline and they set out to do it. After a while, it becomes a habit. Great partners remember this when they are hurt and frustrated."

Taming Your To-Do List - by Kevin Sinclair

Taming Your To-Do List - by Kevin Sinclair: "The worst thing about to-do lists is they seem to breed every time you look away.

How To Overcome Fear Of Flying - Pre Flight Tips - by Paul Tizzard

How To Overcome Fear Of Flying - Pre Flight Tips - by Paul Tizzard: "People with a fear of flying often fear the build up to taking a flight. Once off the flight, fearful flyers then dread the flight home for the fourteen days that they are away!

The main piece of advice we would give people with a fear of flying is preparation.

Maybe this sounds obvious?

The goal of travelling for anyone is to be as prepared as you can be. There was a saying in the military when I served which was that you are only as uncomfortable as you want to be.

This means giving yourself the best chances possible. I would divide the preparation into two parts practical and mental.

This article will give you a bit of the mental side to think about."

Understanding Options - by Martin Chandra

Understanding Options - by Martin Chandra: "Options are one of the oldest trading vehicles man has ever used. Around a 1000 B.C Aristotle Thales predicted by the stars that there would be a bumper olive harvest and bought options on the use of olive presses.

When the harvest did in fact prove to be a great harvest Thales was able to rent the presses at a significant profit.

When you buy an option you have the right but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific underlying asset at a prearranged price on or before a given date.

Similar to futures, options can give the holder protection against adverse price moves.

Call options when bought allow you to buy an asset at a fixed price (strike price) on or before a specific exercise date.

Exercise date: some options can only be exercised on a particular date and they are commonly know as European options. Options that can be exercised on or before the due date are commonly known as American options).

A Put options is the reverse of the call option. When you buy a put option it gives you the right but not the obligation to sell an underlying asset at a predetermined date."

What Is A Penny Stock? - by William Smith

What Is A Penny Stock? - by William Smith: "A Penny Stock is a share that trades from a penny to $5. Penny Stock has a large reward prospective with some having gone from a penny to $20 and even more too.

Actually, these stocks commonly refers to any stock trading outside one of the leading major exchanges like the NYSE, NASDAQ, or AMEX, and is often considered to be critical.

In other words, the definition of a Penny Stock is a low-priced, speculative security of a very small company, no matter what of market capitalization or whether it trades on a securitized exchange like the NYSE or NASDAQ or an 'over the counter' listing service.

A good example of the OTCBB or Pink Sheets too. The terms Penny Stock, microcap stocks, small caps, and nano caps are also all indeed new and are used interchangeably, however the stock status is determined by share price, not market capitalization or the listing service.

A Penny Stock basically has market caps under $500M and are considered extremely speculative, predominantly those that trade on low volumes over the counter. The Securities and Exchange commission warns that these stocks can trade on the odd occasion, which means that it can be difficult to sell Penny Stock shares once you own them.

Because it can be difficult to realize quotations for a sure Penny Stock, since they can be impossible to be accurately priced. Investors would be equipped for the probability that they can lose their whole investment.

Why Love Relationships Fail - by Bob Makransky

Why Love Relationships Fail - by Bob Makransky: "Love relationships fail because at no time in our training by society are we given a factual model of what a love relationship is, or how to make one succeed. There are fundamentally three levels on which intimate relationships operate, and our social training only prepares us to deal with one of them – the most superficial one – and even that one ineptly. This superficial level is called the expectations level. It is usually the only level we address consciously.

The expectations level consists of all our self-images and self-importance. When we primp ourselves in front of a mirror, what we are primping is our expectations of other people. It’s the level of our daydreams and fantasies, whereon everyone is as impressed with us as we are with ourselves.

On the expectations level what interests us the most about a prospective partner is his or her physical attractiveness, manner of dress and bearing, social and educational background, future prospects, how “cool” he or she is, how he or she reflects back on us, what others will think of us for having chosen this partner.

On the expectations level a “love relationship” is actually an approval agreement, a contract, To Wit: “The party of the first part hereby agrees to pretend to honor, love, cherish and obey the party of the second part; in return for which considerations the party of the second part agrees not to hurt, betray, nor expose to public embarrassment the party of the first part (see appended schedule of specific acts which shall be deemed to constitute ‘hurt’, ‘betrayal’, and ‘public embarrassment’). Any violation of this agreement by either party shall be considered valid grounds for spitefuln"
